I would stick to the past simple here. �What did you wear yesterday? � If you said to someone, �What were you wearing yesterday? � and there was no follow-up, as in: �What were you wearing yesterday when the skies opened? � it would mean you were wearing something really unusual. �OMG, what were you wearing yesterday?!!!! �

I agree with Lynne that the past continuous would be used when there is reference to another activity/event that happened while she was wearing that. Otherwise, the simple past is what you need. In the proper context, though, both are correct, as your source says. Bruce
